Abstract: Features are provided for the use of persistent connections and efficient content synchronization in content delivery environments. A content management system may provide content feeds to user devices using a persistent duplex connection over which the content management system and user devices may communicate asynchronously. By using a persistent duplex connection to asynchronously communicate with user devices, the content management system can provide content for the content feeds while, in parallel, receiving requests and commands from the user devices, responding to the requests and commands, and transmitting other requests and commands to the user devices. In addition, the content management system and a particular user device can exchange information regarding the content items that the user device has or should have already received.

Abstract: A tracking device can be reconfigured after an amount of operation to preserve the battery capacity of the tracking device and to ensure that the tracking device can be operated for a pre-determined threshold period of time. The tracking device can provide diagnostic information representative of a state of the tracking device, such as a current power capacity of the tracking device's battery, to a mobile device within a threshold proximity of the tracking device. The mobile device can then provide the diagnostic information to a tracking server, which in turn can provide reconfiguration instructions to the mobile device. The mobile device can then pass on the reconfiguration instructions to the tracking device, in response to which the tracking device can reconfigure itself.

Abstract: Some embodiments provide a method for saving data communicated with an application during the application downtime. The method, in some embodiments, receives incoming data from an interface of a machine. The incoming data includes data that is originated by different resources to be sent to a particular application that executes on the machine. The method forwards the incoming data to the particular application when the particular application is available, and forwards the incoming data to a data storage to be buffered when the particular application is unavailable for receiving the incoming data.

Abstract: Processing received job requests for a multi-versioned distributed computerized service. For each received job request, the job request is channeled to an appropriate service processing node that depends on the version of the distributed computing service that is to handle the job request. A version of the distributed computing service is assigned to the incoming job request. A service processing node that runs a runtime library for the assigned service version is then identified. The identified service processing node also has an appropriate set of one or more executables that allows the service processing node to plan an appropriate role (e.g., compiler, scheduler, worker) in the distributed computing service. The job request is then dispatched to the identified service processing node.

Abstract: Communication apparatus includes a host interface and a network interface, which receives at least first and second redundant packet streams, each including a sequence of data packets, which include headers containing respective packet sequence numbers and data payloads of a predefined, fixed size containing respective slices of the data segment. Redundant first and second copies of each slice are transmitted in respective packets in the first and second packet streams. Packet processing circuitry receives the data packets from the network interface, maps the data packets in both the first and second packet streams, using the packet sequence numbers, to respective addresses in a buffer, and writes the data payloads to the respective addresses via the host interface while eliminating redundant data so that the buffer contains exactly one copy of each slice of the data segment, ordered in accordance with the packet sequence numbers.

Abstract: Implementations are provided herein for utilizing the two-part nature of HDFS protocol communications received in a non-native HDFS environment to use discriminative information learned in the NameNode request to make the client experience more efficient. NameNode requests can be received by any node among a cluster of nodes. It can be appreciated that in some non-native HDFS, clients can communicate with any node among a cluster of nodes to perform transactions and need not first communicate with a NameNode. In addition, any node among the cluster of nodes has access to any data within the HDFS. Thus, upon receiving a NameNode request, the non-native HDFS Cluster of Nodes can more effectively load balance the cluster by directing HDFS clients to connect with Nodes that are less busy than other nodes. In this sense, a more efficient client experience can be offered for HDFS clients within a non-native HDFS environment.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are systems, methods, and computer-readable storage devices for message delivery according to a distribution list, from the point of view of a message relay server. An example message relay server receives a message, and parses the message to extract a distribution list identifier. The message relay server can parse the distribution list identifier from one of a body of the message, a message subject, an address to which the message is directed, for example. Based on the distribution list identifier, the message relay server can retrieve a distribution list of intended recipients for the message and the message relay server can adapt the message for each intended recipient on the distribution list based on respective message preferences, to yield adapted messages. The message relay server can deliver each of the adapted messages to a respective recipient in the distribution list of intended recipients based on respective message preferences.
